Care Sheet for the Panther Chameleon Furcifer pardalis By Petr Necas & Bill Strand Legend Sub-legend Description Taxon Furcifer pardalis Panther Chameleon (English) Common Names Sakorikita (Malagassy) Original name Chamaeleo pardalis Author Cuvier, 1829 Original description Règne, animal, 2nd ed., 2: 60 Type locality Ile de France (= Mauritius, erroneous), restricted to Madagascar Typus HNP 6520 A formally monotypic species with no recognized subspecies, however recent studies reveal many (4 big, up to 11) entities within this species, defined geographically, that show different level of relativeness, some so distant from each other to be possibly con- sidered a separate species and/or subspecies. Taxonomy Historically, many synonyms were introduced, such as Chamaeleo ater, niger, guen- theri, longicauda, axillaris, krempfi. The term “locale” is used in captive management only; it has no taxonomic relevance and refers to the distinct subpopulations named usually after a village within its (often not isolated and well defined) range, differing from each other through unique color- Taxonomy ation and patterns, mainly males. The distinguished “locales” are as follows: Ambanja, Ambilobe, Ampitabe, Androngombe, Ankaramy, Ankarana (E and W), Andapa, Anki- fy, Antalaha, Antsiranana (Diego Suarez), Beramanja, Cap Est, Djangoa, Fenoarivo, Mahavelona, Mangaoka, Manambato, Mananara, Maroantsetra, Marojejy, Nosy Be, Nosy Boraha, Nosy Faly, Nosy Mangabe, Nosy Mitsio, Sambava, Sambirano, Soanier- ana Ivongo, Toamasina (Tamatave), Vohimana. Captive projects include often delib- erate crossbreeding of “locales” that lead to genetically unidentifiable animals and should be omitted. Member of the genus Furcifer. 2 Legend Sub-legend Description Distributed along NE, N, NW and E coast of Madagascar, south reaching the vicinity of Tamatave, including many offshore islands (e.g.

A New Species of Critically Endangered Edible Yam Endemic to Northern Madagascar, Dioscorea Irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and Its Conservation
KEW BULLETIN (2017) 72:15 ISSN: 0075-5974 (print) DOI 10.1007/S12225-017-9677-6 ISSN: 1874-933X (electronic) A new species of critically endangered edible yam endemic to northern Madagascar, Dioscorea irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and its conservation Paul Wilkin1 , James A. Kennerley2, Mamy Tiana Rajaonah3, Geodain Meva Huckël4, Feno Rakotoarison4, Tianjanahary Randriamboavonjy3 & Stuart Cable1 Summary. Morphological character data are used to show that a distinct morphotype of Dioscorea L. from the Irodo valley (East of Sadjoavato) in Antsiranana Province of Madagascar is an undescribed species, differing in its leaf arrangement, pubescence form and male inflorescence structure from all other taxa. It is described as Dioscorea irodensis Wilkin, Rajaonah & Randriamb., illustrated and a distribution map and ecological information provided. It is known from three sites, but is likely to have been eradicated from one of them. The population that has been studied in the field contains a very low number of adult plants. Tubers have been extracted for use as food at a level that appears to be unsustainable. Thus its provisional IUCN conservation status assessment is that it is critically endangered (CR). Its vernacular name in Irodo is Bemandry. Famintinana. Ny toetra sy ny bikan’ny oviala dia azo ampiasaina hanehoana fa miavaka ny oviala iray, izay hita tao anatin’ny lohasahan’Irodo (Atsinanan’i Sadjoavato, faritanin’Antsiranana) ao Avaratr’i Madagasikara, ary tsy mbola voasoritra ny mombamomba azy. Mampihavaka azy amin’ny hafa ireto toetra manaraka ireto: ny fipetraky ny ravina, ny fisian’ny volo, sy ny firafitry ny tahom-bony lahy eo aminy. Nosoritana ho Dioscorea irodensis Wilkin, Rajaonah & Randriamb.

Repoblikan'ny Madagasikara
IOTC-2018-WPDCS14-13 REPOBLIKAN’NY MADAGASIKARA FITIAVANA-TANINDRAZANA-FANDROSOANA ____________________________ MINISTERE DES RESSOURCES HALIEUTIQUES ET DE LA PECHE UNITE STATISTIQUE THONIERE D’ANTSIRANANA (USTA) 14TH WORKING PARTY ON DATA COLLECTION AND STATISTICS Victoria-Seychelles, 29th November to 1st December 2018 Gaillord JAONA Yacinthe RAZAFIMANDIMBY ABSTRACT In the framework to improve the fishery statistics in Madagascar, the Ministry of Fisheries, through the Unité Statistique Thonière d’Antsiranana, initiated in 2015 a monitoring system for small-scale and artisanal fisheries of pelagic fish in northern Madagascar with two pilot villages. Since 2016, Monitoring has been expanded in other villages where network of investigators have been established in the various potential fishing areas. At each catch landings, an investigator collects tuna catch data and other catches, and also performs sampling. The date of landing, the time at sea, fishing zone, the weight and total number of individuals landed are recorded; and measurements of tuna and tuna like species are conducted. According to the catch monitoring since the pilot phase in 2015, it can be seen that the tuna season in the northern waters of Madagascar is from June to October. In 2016, catches from small-scale fisheries in these two pilot villages reached 102 tons, including 59 tons of tuna and 43 tons of other catches. The tuna average catch is estimated at 5.3 tons per month. In 2017, total catches in the North of Madagascar reached 3 704 tons including 80 tons of tuna and 4 tons of swordfish from 192 692 landings. Indeed, tuna represents only 2% of total catch for these villages because small-scale and artisanal fishermen still face a challenge, which is the lack of appropriate equipment for catching tuna and tuna like species.
